PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface light-emitting laser array or the like to realize efficient heat radiation and constitute a laser array for independent drive of each element even when a distance between elements has a narrow pitch. SOLUTION: The surface light-emitting laser array is formed with a plurality of surface light-emitting laser elements including a semiconductor layer 100 having a first reflection mirror, an active layer, a current pinching part, and a second reflection mirror. On this semiconductor layer, a first metal material layer 102 for radiating heat via a first insulating layer 104 is formed. Moreover, on the first metal material layer 102, a second metal material layer 110 for supplying current to the active layer via the second insulating layer 106 is formed. The first metal material layer 102 is used in common among the plurality of surface light-emitting laser elements. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
